Even Droids Have Friends

description

THE FILM

Over a pint at a local Star Wars convention, two middle aged men still dressed as their lifelong heroes r2d2 and C-3PO face the moment of truth.

'Even Droids Have Friends’

This is a short film that explores what happens when a hidden truth is spoken and knocks a childhood bond off its feet. Meet Harry and Peter, now two fully grown men but once two young awkward outsiders who forged a solid relationship over their love of Star Wars. Almost thirty four years later at a local convention one of them drops a bombshell.

In a small parochial GAA hall Harry finally admits that as 44year old single man he can no longer see himself in gold make-up and a girdle.Touring conventions as C-3PO isn’t for him anymore but he knows what is.

This bitter sweet tale explores a childhood friendship into adulthood and what happens when one wants to trade up.

THE PLEA

This is our most ambitious work to date and ambition costs! So far, with self financing and support received from Dublin City Council we have made good start in funding the making of this film but we still need your support to reach our target.

We’d be thrilled, over the moon, hopping-up-and-down grateful if you can be part of this journey.

May the Fund it be with us.
